Description

You’ve maybe worked in corporate or close to a founder in a startup. You’ve seen the problem. Now build the solution. Beam is the corporate venture builder of BEUMER Group — a global leader in intralogistics. We build startups that solve critical problems across the logistics and industrial sectors. We are looking for experienced intrapreneurs to co-found startups with us. As an Intrapreneur in Residence, you’ll work through a validation phase for up to 18 months to test and prove one of our pre-validated venture opportunities. You will collaborate with Beam’s internal team and BEUMER experts to deeply understand the problem space, define the solution, and prepare for company formation. We want you to validate and launch a B2B SaaS company focused on modernizing the reverse logistics infrastructure. If you have a background in innovation, supply chain, or returns logistics—and are ready to build your first company, we want to hear from you. The Problem We’re Solving Many logistics operators want to upgrade their intralogistics systems—such as conveyors, palletisers, or high-speed sorters—but are left with used equipment that still has technical value. Currently, there’s no streamlined, trustworthy way to resell, refurbish, and reinstall these systems with traceability and guarantees. We aim to build a certified B2B platform that connects logistics operators, OEMs, and certified refurbishers, turning unused equipment into monetizable, circular assets with full configuration and service history.
